In this episode our guest is Dr Francis Cabana. We discuss everything from his journey through the animal nutrition world, modern pet food, what is good for our animals and what are the myths that many fall into, as well as answering some more controversial questions from our listeners.
Dr Francis is one of the top wildlife nutritionists in Asia. Originating from Montreal, Canada, has a PhD in wildlife nutrition from Oxford Brookes University.
Instead of taking the path of common animal science to learn about agricultural animals, or through the veterinarian space and taking a certificate in nutrition, he took the road less travelled to dive deep into the world of animal ecology, metabolism and nutrition.
His incredible journey led him to the Singapore Zoo as their wildlife nutritionist and Assistant Director of Zoology from 2016 to 2021, taking on the mammoth responsibility of the diets of over 15,000 animals that most have very little research published on. His passion inevitably flowed on to domestic animals.
His current role is now with PetCubes, where he formulates the gently cooked and raw meals that PetCubes provides to thousands of dogs and cats throughout Singapore.

Welfare For Our Community Dogs is not an Animal Welfare Group. It is run by one person, to ensure welfare for street dogs in Singapore. One of the first things that stands out is the use of community dogs rather than street dogs or strays. This reflects the care and impact that WFOCD is creating.
Samantha has a no nonsense attitude towards doing everything she can to help the community dogs of Singapore. Whether it be working along side government bodies, reaching out to remediate with such groups as cyclists, cat feeders or anyone else who may come in conflict with the dogs, to going out every night to feed the dogs.
In this episode we cover a wide range of what she does and why. And how you can help or get involved should you have the heart for it.

In this episode we walk about one of our hosts dog, Athos. Athos started showing signs of aggression at 6 months old and they grew to the point of putting people, other dogs and of course Athos himself in real danger.
We discuss his journey to becoming a calm and confident dog who can now be used as a demo dog to help other dogs struggling with reactivity. Detailing the commitment, training and exercises used to achieve this, as well as going into the psychology of why this happened in the first place.
In the Q&A's section of this episode we touch on; Rough Play, Excessive Barking, Puppy Behaviour and Aggression.
